Fact 1 Parents of Henry unconfirmed by any baptism record.
They were most likely John VINGOE & Margaret ELLIS, married in 1769
St Just. John Vingoe was bt Jun1742 Sennen and bur at Sennen Aug 1794.
Margaret ELLIS was bt 1752 at St Buryan, and bur as a widow
Dec 1794 Sancreed. It almost certain that she was the widow of
John VINGOE bur Sennen 1794 and had returned to her home parish of Sancreed
when left a widow.

Fact 6 According to the death notice
in "The Cornwall
Royal Gazette" Feb 17 1843 ,"died from starvation"

Fact 7 Grace Mann
baptism & marriage: Paul Parish Record

Fact 8 Grace Vingoe
burial : Paul Parish Record

Fact 9 Grace Vingoe died
of cholera and was buried in a mass grave in the meadow acquired for the
purpose of burying all victims of the epidemic. The headstones, now arranged
around the perimeter wall of the cholera graveyard, do not relate to those
buried within. These headstones were removed from the graveyard
behind the Parish Schoolroom on the green opposite the church when that
suffered a major clearance in the 1950's. The bodies were not exhumed.

Fact 9: Parents of Stephen
Berryman who married Margaretta Vingoe were, Stephen Berryman bt 4 May
1794 Paul & Sarah Richards
bt 7 Dec 1794 Paul who married 8 June 1817 Paul. Sarah was a
daughter of Richard Richards andSarah MARK who married 13 Oct 1777
Paul. All the children of Stephen and
Sarah, xcept Stephen[ 1819] were given the middle
name of Richards. Stephen [1819] had a sister named Mary Mark Berryman b1825
but does not appear to have named his daughter
Mary with Mark as a middle name. Sarah Berryman was know as "Queen of
the Fisherwomen" and was at the dinner in Penzance Market Hall in to commemorate Queen Victoria's Coronation in 1840.

Fact 15 Grace Harvey Berryman
: Only registration found was for a Grace Dunn Berryman : Mar 1/4 1846 which
does not accord with her age of 22 on the 1871 Census where as her baptismal
date of 1849 does

Fact 4: Three children Ben, Nancy
and John [listed as Vingoe] were born to Honor's
brother, Benjamin Richards and his wife Mary Smith TASKES
who married 1 Jan 1824 at Paul. Sadly both parents died in
the cholera epidemic and are buried in the
cholera meadow at Paul ; Mary Richards 3 Sep 1832 & ten days
later her husband, Ben Richards, buried 13 Sep 1832. Francis &
Honor Vingoe appear to have brought up their 3
children who survived and on the 1841 census they are recorded as
Vingoe.

Fact 12: 1851 Census. Living with Honor Vingoe,
age 52 at Trewarvanneth (Trewarveneth ) Street was her nephew, George
Angwin un. age 20, who was one of the 4 children
listed as living with them on the 1841.

Fact 13: Francis'
marriage to his second wife, Lucretia Nicholas, 27 May 1855
states he was of ' full age, widower of Paul parish, fisherman :
father Henry Vingoe, Fisherman'. Lucretia was ' off full age' and made her
mark. Her father was listed as 'Robert Nicholas, Fisherman.' Witnesses were
William Harry & James Richards.

"On
Monday afternoon an old man named Henry Vingoe ,a
fisherman residing at Newlyn, accidentally fell over a steep fight of steps
at the AlbertWharves and received such injuries
that no hopes are entertained of his recovery."

Photo shows the Albert Warf or Pier at
the top with the steps in question half way along.

FATAL
ACCIDENT

"An
inquiry was held at Newlyn on Monday by Mr. Grenfell, county coroner,
concerning the death of Henry Vingoe ,the fisherman
who was killed by falling over some steps at the AlbertWharves, Penzance.
A verdict of accidental death was returned."

Fact 4 1901
Census: Edward John Badcock believed visiting Sculcoates
in HullYorkshire
on business as the rest of the family are in St Ives :

Fact 5 At the time his will was drawn
up (19th November 1938), Edward John Badcock (son of
Sarah Jane Vingoe) was living at 6 Godrevy Terrace, St Ives and was a retired
fish buyer. He gave his son Edward his holding of 100 shares in R.R.
Bath and Newlyn Ice Company Limited and he gave his friend John Martin his
holding of 50 shares in the Newlyn Gaiety Theatre Company Limited.
His daughter Ethel May Jeffrey was living with him at the time. His
children Ethel, Edward, William Henry and Margaret (Berriman) were to each
receive 20 pounds and his grandchildren Phyllis Jeffrey, Jean Jeffrey, Joyce
Berriman, Terence Berriman and Ian Berriman were to each receive 10
pounds. He does not mention his youngest, Sarah Elizabeth Badcock, nor his grandchild Margaret Daphne Berriman, so I don't
know what happened to them. I presume his wife had died.
